State Ed plan outlines phased property tax shifts and pay raises
The plan sketched in continues from page one calls for a 10 year spread of tax increases tied to reappraisal by March 1, 1985, with $50 million more revenue for schools each year. It includes a six year effort to raise teacher and service employee pay above the top county by 1 percent, totaling about 160 million of a 262.5 million second phase cost, and directs increases toward lower paying counties. The first phase focuses on boosting Education Department oversight at a cost of 710,000, while local officials report cautious timing and minor road incidents amid weather and traffic confusion in Virginia counties.

Aides Say Sam Church Finally Concedes Defeat
Huntington West Virginia AP An aide to outgoing UMW President Sam Church says he will concede to Rich Trumka in the upcoming United Mine Workers Journal. The concession statement will appear in the issue published later this week or early next week. Church loss came by more than a 2 to 1 margin in the Nov 9 election. Leaders have not yet conceded at union headquarters despite Trumka’s claims of victory. Arnell Church said he has not spoken with the president since election night. Church contends Trumka lacked five years in the mines to be eligible, a claim disputed after the IEB ruled in Trumka’s favor. Two election tellers aligned with Church questioned the outcome. another teller backed Trumka, noting the ballot timing rules. UMW inauguration set for Wednesday at Charleston Civic Center Coliseum.
